um hello... is it possible for me to go to heaven if i misled two of God’s people down the path of destruction?

i keep seeing things that point to eternal death, that God would avenge them by sending me to hell.

am i really doomed to hell..? is there no one who can save me?

(p.s: here is a little backstory: i first went to church 12 years ago, said the salvation prayer without knowing the meaning, and received the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues when a pastor prayed for the congregation to receive. i began walking with God going with two ideas (one that i heard a pastor preach, and the other something an older Christian friend lived by): that ‘good things happen to people who believe that God loves them’, and to be ‘fully reliant on God’. i began to choose to believe that God loved me as i wanted good things to happen, and i chose to trust in God. I experienced so much joy walking with God and seeing miracles.

but that didnt last for long. the friend that brought me to church dumped me on a counsellor, whom i had trouble opening up to, and could not see me on a regular basis. after a while, i found myself alone in the walk, full of questions. i wondered what was right and wrong, and how to behave as a Christian. i asked some people in a caregroup i joined, and the answer i got was to be myself. and i began looking back at who i used to be like, and began living like i did in the past - in depression. i also began trying to find out who i was, and began becoming very self focused.

i still tried to share Jesus with people, but got severely influenced by a close friend who rejected Christ saying he wanted someone tangible. he made me sound crazy. i began to have thoughts that God wasnt real and that He was only in my imagination. i began living this way from then on.

then i started having thoughts that i had to play God and save the world. that i had to sin like them to understand their problems to be able to help them. i began focusing on everyone around me looking for people to help. and could not live my own life.

i was very attacked by the enemy. i had thoughts saying i had to sin to become a sinner to qualify for the sinners prayer.

my basics were very weak, i was led astray, and people around me, such as a leader, could not help much. when i was wondering what sin was, my leader said that she didnt want to talk about it, and sternly refused to talk about what sin was. the church i attended told us to not be sin conscious but to be Christ conscious.

because of the lack of guidance, or inappropriate guidance, i began backsliding. i heard the pastor preach about the world and i wondered what the world was like. he also said the devil was the god of this world. i began becoming very conscious of the devil.

i lived confused and misled and felt very lonely in my walk. my family were unbelievers, and i didnt really know who to turn to.

i also struggled with social anxiety which saw me hiding at home a lot. but i couldnt feel safe for long. my family became hostile too, with my mom harassing me daily with her negative venting of emotions and complaining, and my dad getting angry unreasonably, and making me feel small and unsafe.

i began to think of dying, and during this time, my mom gave me the idea that maybe my depression would get better if i had a life partner, and she said she wanted to introduce some guy from my dads company to me.

later on, i mistook another guy as the one, and contacted him. after a while i grew to think he was awesome, and wanted to continue contacting him. But God told me he was not the one for me. but i had already envisioned a life with him and saw hope in him. In a moment of rashness, i foolishly abandoned God for him, thinking he could help me out of the pit i was in.

i trusted fully in him, but he turned out to only want to take advantage of me. i wanted to leave him, and thought that if he was seeing this other girl, i should move on. but he wasnt honest and confused me. i was upset with him and felt betrayed, so i used God’s word and name against him. i ended up turning him and the other girl he was seeing away from God by accident, and i think they began to rebel against God. they began doing sorcery to attack me, and God told me to do some things to bring them back to Him. but i didnt out of fear and unworthiness. yet later on when i was under severe attack and suffering greatly, i tried using my own efforts to make them stop. God showed me later that i only ended up misleading them down the path of destruction.

i started to see evil, demonic things, and that i would go to hell. i feel very hopeless. is there still hope for me to go to heaven if God has shown me that He would avenge them by sending me to hell because i misled them down the path of destruction?)

I don't think what you've experienced or think you've seen is from God. God wants everyone saved through Christ, including you, in spite of the mistakes, errors, or sins you have committed especially if you meant well, but were simply ignorant.

We all grow in Christ theologically and spiritually, and the sheer diversity of ideas and opinions out there can make it tough to discern, and frankly, being lead astray is very, very easy. So, you became spiritually and emotionally confused, and may have made some mistakes. Ok. That is not unforgivable, and God is still able to save those people.

I do also think that you are confusing your own feelings and worries with God's voice. Satan can use our anxieties, fears, and scruples against us, and make it seem as though God is telling us something that He is not.

The Lord is always willing to wipe your slate clean if you go to Him with a sincere heart. ask for forgiveness and repent ... allowing you/us to begin anew.

He forgives quickly! Quickly ... quickly!

Put the past behind you, accept the forgiveness of the Lord and walk forward with Him.

Study His Word yourself and don't rely on other people to "show you the way". By spending time in His Word you are spending time with Him and HE will show you the way.

Focus on His words of encouragement ... until your current thinking gets changed.

What Does the Bible Say About Encouragement?

May the Lord encourage you and bring you peace to your heart and mind. In Jesus name ... amen!

Saying "the salvation prayer without knowing the meaning" doesn't save anyone, from anything. Once you are saved, you're saved forever, safe and secure in God's Hand. What must I do to be saved?

Mankind’s Need of Salvation

What do I need to be saved from?
The wrath of God. (Romans 2:5-6)

Why do I need to be saved?
Your sin has cut you off from God. (Isaiah 59:2) To sin, means to “miss the mark.” The Bible declares, “all have sinned; all fall short of God’s standard.” (Romans 3:23)

What is God’s standard?
To perfectly keep His Law, the Ten Commandments, for your entire life. Keep all of the Law and God will let you enter Heaven. Have you ever:
  • used God’s name as a curse word? _____Yes _____No
  • stolen anything? _____ Yes _____No
  • told a lie? _____Yes _____No
This is just three of the ten. Answer yes to any? Yes, I have (everyone else has too). You are guilty of breaking God’s Law (as we all are). You have sinned. The “wages (penalty) of sin is (physical & spiritual) death.” (Romans 6:23)

If you die, without being saved, you will be eternally separated from God and your loved ones. After death, life does go on, either in Heaven (with God) or in Hell (away from God), depending on your acceptance or rejection of God’s plan of salvation.

God’s Plan of Salvation

The Futility of Human Effort
The Bible teaches that no amount of human goodness, human works, human morality or religious activity can get anyone into Heaven. Being a good person, belonging to a religious family, being baptized, going to church, none of these can save anyone. Everyone still falls short of God’s perfect standard. (Isaiah 64:6, Romans 4:1-5, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5-7)

The Only Way
Jesus said to him, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) me.” (John 14:6)

What must I do to be saved?
1) Realize that you’re are a sinner. (Romans 3:23, 5:12; 1 John 1:10)

2) Change your mind about Jesus (repent).
  • Jesus said: “…unless you repent (have a change of mind that results in a change of action), you will all perish and be lost eternally. (Luke 13:5)
  • …now God charges all people everywhere to repent. (Acts 17:30)
3) Believe the Gospel, that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and rose from the dead.
  • We are made right in God’s sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in the same way, no matter who we are or what we have done. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God’s anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed His blood, sacrificing His Life for us. (Romans 3:22, 25)
  • For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

4) Go to God in prayer, confessing Jesus as Lord and your need for forgiveness of your sins.
  • For it is believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. (Romans 10:10)
  • For anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.(Romans 10:13)
Then you've got to trust Jesus to do His part, to save you, just like He said He will. <~~~Without this part, I spent years doubting my salvation, praying (over & over/again & again) for God to save me, never knowing, for sure, if I was. Ever since I started trusting Jesus to do what He said He will do, I know I'm saved and have never had any doubts about it since then.

I been told that People will fail you, but God won't. Often time even unattentionally people will fail you. the preson who dumped you to a counselor sounded like that person didn't want to take time to share Jesus with you. or maybe he/she doesnt have an answer but still could of been more thoughtfull to you. I would also just leave the the relationship no matter what you bf is saying. once you leave that relatioship the better God can start working in you. Praying for you. and God is with you always. I would read James. I love that the book of the bible, :)

i began to choose to believe that God loved me as i wanted good things to happen, and i chose to trust in God. I experienced so much joy walking with God and seeing miracles.
Yes God loves us.

But God wants us to care about others as we care about our own selves.

But there are people who are mainly concerned about God loving them and doing them good. And they can be very interested in songs that are about "me, myself, and I". God did this for me, God will take care of me, I will be so blessed in Heaven . . . .

But in Jesus we are family. We dearly love and tenderly care for one another as much as for our own selves.

But it appears there is ministry that is mainly about what you can get for your own self . . . by praying with faith, but mainly or even only with attention to yourself being blessed. Plus, there is ministry which has people focused on giving money in order to get their own selves blessed . . . not a lot of emphasis on caring about others as ourselves . . . as family with one another.

Of course, if you are a TV church person, it is kind of hard to be personally sharing as family with other children of God, since you are relating with a TV set.

So, yes God loves you and has plans only for good for you > but "you" means all of God's family, not only you, by yourself in some sort of isolation.

And you say you have had a depression problem. Depression can be a way of isolation. Our Heavenly Father has us sharing as family. So, if we go along with isolating stuff in us, this can have us not experiencing God's love. God loves us, by sharing His love with us >

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)

And this love is all-loving, changing us to become all-loving, caring about any and all others as ourselves. Yes, we care about our selves, and about others as ourselves . . . in this all-loving family caring and sharing love.

So . . . in case you have been mainly interested in how God would save you and bless you . . . possibly you have not gotten into all-loving love which is God's love. And so you could have stayed in weakness so you have been able to get into different sorts of trouble in yourself.

God's focus is first about changing us to become like His Son Jesus >

"For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." (Romans 8:29)

Jesus is so pleasing to our Father, and Jesus is sound in real love. So, the focus of Biblical prosperity ministry is how God is prospered by changing us to become like His own Son . . . more and more . . . in His love >

"Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4:17)

First off, judicially speaking; everyone is responsible for their own sin. God is not going to send you to hell because someone else rejected Him. He should (and justly so) send any of us to hell for our own sin. And the people who turned from Him are responsible for their own sin. (You didn't make them sin. They did that all on their own!)

Yet if you are scared of hell and desperately desire redemption; that's a good sign. Jesus said that those who know they are in need of a doctor are the ones who look for one. So no, you are not beyond redemption. So long as you are still this side of the grave; you are not beyond redemption.

A lot of people fear they've done something too bad to ever be redeemed. Aint no one in 2000 years has committed blasphemy against the Spirit. I don't care if any church tells you to the contrary. If they tell you you've blasphemed the Holy Spirit; they're lying!

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost was a very specific thing; which was to witness Jesus perform miracles in the flesh, knowing He's the Messiah and say He did this by the power of Satan. That's blaspheming the Holy Ghost!

If you want redemption; Jesus came to seek and to save those that are lost. If your throughly convicted that you're lost; you qualify! We all have our fears and doubts. I didn't know for sure I was saved until about 10 years after I became interested in Christianity and started reading the Bible. So don't let fear of (or feelings of) being eternally condemned dictate your own personal determination as to whether or not you really are. God knows and whether or not you are serious about redemption will be revealed in due time.

So, best way to understand God is get out a Bible and start reading. If you know what a concordance is; that can be helpful too.

um hello... is it possible for me to go to heaven if i misled two of God’s people down the path of destruction?

You are only responsible for your own life. Because you are worried about your impact on others, then you are taking responsibility for your own life. But God will not take revenge on you.
